Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Lido Shores

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!

“Kimberly is very patient with my new very anxious Siberian kitten. For the first time today after Kimberly, coming in for several days during the holidays just for check-in’s, Liliya actually came out from hiding and sniffed Kimberly’s hand. I can be a less anxious, kitty parent, knowing that Kimberly is around to help.”

“Kailea was very thorough in taking care of Bodhi, as well as extremely communicative and easy to work with. She clearly cared about Bodhi and his well being as soon as she met him. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

About: I have provided pet care services to dogs and cats of all ages and needs. From walking the neighbors dogs to watching their cats at night, I am ready for whatever care your animal needs. I am also equipped from the personal care of the dogs and cats my family and I rescued from baby to senior. I can’t wait to meet your pets and make them feel at home! I generally work 9-6 weekdays but my schedule fluctuates week to week and is flexible on weekends. I am happy to provide care before and after my work day. Let’s find a time! I will provide a safe environment in the home for the pets maintaining whatever feeding and bathroom schedule they are on. I love playing with animals and just keeping them company :).

“I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!”

“Dari was phenomenal with our fellas. She spent the holidays with them, loving them and caring for them while we were out of town. She is such an animal lover and genuinely cares for the well being of our fur babies. I can’t wait to hire her again. The fellas say thank you Aunt Dari!”

About: I grew up in a house full of dogs and I learned from an early age, what responsible, attentive animal care truly looks like. My mom is a retired veterinarian, and I worked as a veterinary assistant in her practice throughout my teenage years and into adulthood. Through that experience, I became comfortable and confident with administering oral medications, giving injections, monitoring, recovery, and recognizing signs of illness or discomfort. I understand how important routines, safety, and communication are when caring for someone’s dog. Whether your dog is young and energetic, senior, or requires medication, I am able to provide knowledgeable, attentive care with a calm and compassionate approach. Your dogs, health, comfort and happiness are always my top priorities. I work part time in the mornings, which means most of my afternoons and evenings are free and flexible for pet care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, timely walks, drop ins, feedings, and medications administration as needed. When caring for pets in their home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine in a safe, calm, and low stress environment. A carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and household rules, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. With my veterinary assistant background, I’m comfortable monitoring behavior and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. I will always communicate promptly if anything seems unusual and provide regular updates with photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away.

“Elisa was AMAZING! Thank you so much.”

About: I have always had a special connection to animals and had pets. I LOVE dogs and nurturing them deeper than most will go. Hands on care is my gift; cuddles, baths, walks, etc. I love to help anxious pets and older pets feel safe and cared for. I am currently a stay at home mom. I have tons of time everyday to care for pets or make home visits/take pets on walks. I have a large fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I have one sweet girl dog that is dog friendly and loves to socialize! I also have a small child so all dogs must be kid friendly. I can crate dogs or use puppy diapers if needed.

About: Being a pet sitter is truly a dream come true. Dog lover is an understatement! I grew up with dogs of my own and have spent my whole life around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also helped care for neighbors’ and family members’ dogs through walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and quality time. I’m very active and love getting dogs out and moving, whether that’s neighborhood walks or exploring local favorites like the Celery Fields, Bayfront Park, or Red Bug Park. I’m happy to tailor walks and outings to each dog’s energy level, and for pups who enjoy extra playtime, I also have access to my family’s fully fenced backyard for supervised fun. I’ll return your dog like they just got back from vacation: happy, relaxed, and tired. 🐾🌴🦮 I’m currently available when you need me and would be happy to be flexible with your schedule! I hope to fill my schedule with your fur babies! 🥰 When caring for pets in their home or mine, I do my best to keep their routine consistent so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I always make sure doors and gates are secure, double-check food and water, and give them lots of attention and love. I respect your home and your pet’s space, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines that help your pet feel at ease.

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Making sure they get enough exercise by going on long walks, being properly fed ,and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so it depends on whenever you need me and how long you need me to stay, we can work around it! In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure they’re properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention. Their safety and health is also one of my main priorities. If I feel in any way they are in danger, I will take any necessary actions to make sure they are safe and well.

About: My name is Alaska (Angelina) Barnard, and I provide affordable, quality care for your furry friends! As a former Animal League volunteer, my day job is non-profit HR - but my true passion is working with animals. My goal is to offer professional, personalized care to your pets in the comfort of their own home. Meal prep, walks, medication, play time, and general care are included; and of course, I will always text/email you photos of your pet if requested. :) I have experience with large dogs, elderly dogs, food aggression, social anxiety, and abused pets - whatever the situation, everyone’s needs will be met. (Theirs AND yours.) Please feel free to let me know during our initial consultation what I can do to make you and your fur friends more comfortable. :) Thank you for considering me! Former animal rescue volunteer, previous dog-sitting, breed-specific training. Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs since I was a little girl! When I was growing up, my grandmother and extended family took in rescue pets; so I learned to love and appreciate animals from a young age! I work 9am-5pm, hybrid remote. :) Non-profit HR is my field, but I have quite a bit of free time out of office when I decide to take it. I will reach out for an initial visit/consultation in your home or in a public place so that you can get to know me, ask me questions about myself and my experience, and develop a rapport that you can feel good about. My goal is to put your mind at ease, whatever that looks like for you.

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional care for my furry family member, courtesy of an amazing dog sitter. Despite never having met before, she went above and beyond when my dog fell ill, displaying unparalleled kindness and dedication. During my absence, my dog unfortunately fell sick, leaving a messy situation. Not only did she clean up the mess promptly and efficiently, but she also ensured the entire area was cleaned, going the extra mile to make sure my home was left in pristine condition. Furthermore, her genuine concern for my dog’s well-being shone through when she prepared a comforting meal of chicken and rice, tailored to soothe my dog’s upset stomach. This thoughtful gesture demonstrated her understanding and commitment to providing personalized care. What truly touched my heart was her willingness to take immediate action by seeking medical attention for my dog. Without hesitation, she utilized her own resources to obtain necessary medication from the vet, sparing no expense to ensure my dog received the best possible care. In summary, I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional care and compassion exhibited by Michelle. Her selfless actions, genuine concern, and unwavering dedication are a testament to her professionalism and love for animals. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of reliable and compassionate pet care. She is truly a gem, and I am immensely grateful for her invaluable assistance during a challenging time.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and love animals. When I take care of your pets, I provide timely updates and always know how your fury friend is doing. I am very flexible with drop off and pickup, because I know how things go with travel or any other delays. I live in Huntersville right off Exit 23, so I can pretty much get around very easily using the interstate or back roads. Let me watch your dogs while you take a much deserved break! TO SEE ALL THE DOGS I HAVE WATCHED GO TO MY INSTAGRAM mydoginheaven This is mainly what I am doing at the moment so I am very flexible with the routine. I have an EV car so having to travel back and forth is no big deal. I am currently not hosing dogs at my house due to renovations. At the person's home I typically do everything you would normally do and report anything out of the ordinary not just with the dog, but at the home as well.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. In high school, I fostered dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds, temperaments, and energy levels. Since 2017, I’ve also had a dog of my own, so I understand the daily responsibility, structure, and attention pets need to feel safe and happy. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need stimulation to more laid-back pets who just want companionship and consistency. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Real estate gives me a flexible, self-managed schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my day. I’m often out and about locally, which makes drop-ins and walks convenient. I can accommodate mornings, midday visits, evenings, and weekends depending on your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also respecting your home and keeping everything clean and tidy. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs since 2008, and will never live another day of my life without one. I’ve got three golden retrievers at the moment - two from a breeder and one we adopted from Evergreen Golden Retriever Rescue. Every piece of clothing I own is covered in fur 😆 I work from home most days, with occasional appointments which I typically schedule well in advance. Up early for walks each morning before 7:00, and in bed early (usually by 9:30 or so) I have a fenced yard with two separate play areas. Our three golden retrievers (10, 7, and 2) will make great company for yours, regardless of energy level. Resting in front of our warm fireplace, or cuddling in our laps on our couches, your dogs will be part of our loving family while they’re here!

“Casey went above and beyond caring for our two little dogs. They really seemed to bond with her. Especially my older dog who usually doesn’t like to be pet or rubbed. She cleaned there mess each day as if she was in her own house. I am really pleased with her and will definitely use her again. A+”
